Chamberlain continues to be a hero in my eyes. A good soldier is defined on page 202 by saying that they love the army. However, a good officer will order the death of those you love. Chamberlain is moved to the center and here he sees the most “beautiful” thing he has ever seen. The attack of the South was something to fear and admire. The battle sounds described are very moving and awful.
What a great book to read after I knew a little about the Civil War and Gettysburg specifically. The more I learn the more I realize I do not know.
